It is the same thing with Iraq even if the reasoning was incorrect. The UN didnt authorize force yet Hussein had been murdering his own people for decades as well as sponsoring terrorism. Same things Khadafi has done.
Now its OK to go into a country where the same things are occurring....but wasnt 8 years ago. Makes no sense, much like the entire body of work the UN is.
